Hi, I was looking for the Firefox bug report mentioned, and after 
searching for quite some time was not able to find the thread on 
Bugzilla.  Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but if someone has a 
link to the url of Tom's post to Bugzilla, I'd be grateful if the link 
found its way onto this list.  TIA!
